EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Adroit Fire Club bucket from the 1830-40s, a unique piece of American history. The bucket, made of painted leather with iron rings, stands at an impressive height of 45.7 cm and is housed in the prestigious Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.
The Adroit Fire Club was established in Salem in 1806 as a means of preventing devastating fires within the community. Each member of the club, including cordwainer Samuel Gray who owned this particular bucket, was required to keep a bucket like this in their home or face fines.
The intricate design and craftsmanship of this fire club bucket speak to both its practical purpose and its symbolic significance within early 19th-century society. As flames threatened homes and businesses alike, these buckets served as vital tools for extinguishing fires before they could spread further.
Through this print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a time when communities banded together to protect themselves against disaster. This artifact serves as a reminder of our shared history and the importance of preparedness in times of crisis.
